pre-crime

pre-crime

had the oppurtunity to watch most of it last night. maybe it's because i missed the first part, but it seemed to have the most complicated plot i have ever seen. so many things happening, forseeing this, arresting this person, shouting "run!!"... it was rather incomprehensible.

so anyway, it's about this 'precognition' of a crime before it happens, and then going to catch the criminal before he commits the deed, thus saving the victim. cool idea.

but of course, the sad thing is that some poor guy probably would never know until he was arrested that he was ever going to do anything wrong. free will goes down the drain. (sounds like philosophy...)

the lesson, i guess, is that we must learn to treasure every fleeting second of our lives... for before you know it, it is taken away from you.

i guess the message of this song ties in well with the story:

The Artist In The Ambulance by Thrice

...

late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop so i spin the wheel
my world goes black before i
feel an angel steal me from the
greedy jaws of death and chance
and pull me in with steady hands
they've given me a second chance
the artist in the ambulance

i hope that i will never let you down 
i know that this can be more
than just flashing lights and sound
can we pick you off the ground
more than flashing lights and sound

another thing...

i need to watch more movies.
